Mermaids Don't Cry

Hey guys its #fotofriday with this hot babe, Reese!

The idea for this shoot was a mix of a vintage/retro inspiration from Photographer Jason Lee Parry mixed with a bit of fashion editorial inspo. I chose to have the photoshoot near a poolside, hence the bikini, with the cigarettes and whiskey as a sort of a rebellious and empowered feel.

I initially wanted to do a photoshoot like this one a while back, but I had to wait for the right model, and styling. Reese perfectly embodied what I wanted to portray. And her shirt did too.

One of the biggest things I always tell my models before/ or during a photo or video shoot is to turn on their favorite music to dance to. This helps them loosen up and get in the zone of feeling free, and beautifully candid moments make magical photos like this one.

What makes a photoshoot during golden hour amazing? Rooftop sunsets! And let me tell you, this one was gorgeous! I got really lucky with the weather and unoccupied pool during this shoot!
